Episode V: Four go to Bespin

Well, after the fairly decent Gatherings: Special Edition that was
the Star Wars outing, it seemed only logical to contine the series
with an Empire Strikes Back G:SE.

So, 8pm on Tuesday 15th, and we begin arriving at the collection point,
otherwise known as the Queens ...... (Arms/Head, we can`t remember :-).
Or to be more precise, three of us arrived.  Mel, me, then Keith.
Leaving just Ian unaccounted for.  This would not normally be cause
for concern, except that we knew Ian had the tickets...

Much finger twiddling and anxious glances at the time followed, before
he eventually appeared, somewhat later than we`d have liked, but
as the old saying goes, "a rolling stone gathers no moss".  Well, I
never said the old saying was relevant, did I?

And so, with the assembled masses eagerly chomping at the bit (or was
that just Keith chomping on his beef sandwich?), we tumbled down the
hill towards the cinema, arriving just in time to miss the crap
adverts, grab some not-particularly-brilliant seats, and settle back
for 2 and a bit hours of film.


What more can I say?  Plenty, actually, but I`ve sworn a vow of silence.
Or to be more precise, Mel and co. swore it for me, and I just agreed
on pain of death :-)  So you`ll just have to take it from me that
if you missed out on the pre-film micro-Gathering, you missed out on
about 45 minutes of serious fun.  What a shame...


Next up, Return of The Jedi - 29th April,  Clear your diaries!
